One of an emerging generation of artists from this country, Iglesias creates work that is both innovative and connected to the past. Her archetypal forms and lyrical structures redefine our perceptions of architectural and natural spaces; her intri- cate surfaces and tactile materials are rooted in the rich aesthetic heritage of her native region. With this exhibition, the Guggenheim Museum inau- gurates a series of presentations of contemporary Basque and Spanish art; the series will continue following the opening of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao later this year. The enthusiastic and generous support of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Spain has been critical to the successful realization of this exhibition. I extend my great appreciation to Esperanza Aguirre Gil de Biedma, Minister of Education and Culture; Miguel PREFACE Angel Cortes Martin, Secretary of State for Culture; Benigno Pendas, General Director of Fine Arts; and Jose Guirao Cabrera, Director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid. For their generous patronage, I extend my deep gratitude to Carolina Herrera Perfumes, New York, and Antonio Puig Perfumes, Barcelona. Both companies have a long history of support for the arts in the United States and Spain. To the artist herself, I extend my sincere gratitude for her dedication to the project. I am grateful also to Carmen Gimenez, Curator of Twentieth- Century Art, for bringing this exhibition and catalogue to fruition. We are privileged to benefit from her vision and the results of her close collabora- tion with the artist. Finally, a special note of gratitude is due to the participating venues and the lenders to this exhibition. Their cooperation and goodwill have made this presentation of Iglesias's work a successful undertaking. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS CARMEN GIMENEZ While I have known Cristina Iglesias for many years and have enjoyed seeing her work in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe, it is a particular pleasure to have the opportunity to work with her on her American museum debut and to see new audiences introduced to her oeuvre. Foremost, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the artist. Her constant enthusiasm and limitless energy have made this exhibition possible. It has been a privilege to collaborate with her. I am also thankful to have benefited from the involve- ment of Suzanne Ghez, Director of the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago, and Jose Guirao Cabrera, Director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, who expressed interest in and sup- ported this project from the outset. I am pleased that this exhibition will travel to these institutions as well as to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. I thank Juan Ignacio ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Vidarte, General Director of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and his staff for their enthusiastic participation. My heartfelt appreciation goes to all those who have offered their time and expertise to this project. In particular, I wish to thank Bart Cassiman and Richard Gluckman. I am very grateful to those who generously agreed to lend works: Guy Cambier, Dirk Buneel, and Michael Mast of BACOB Bank, Brussels; Jean Bernier of Jean Bernier Gallery, Athens; Dorothee Fischer of Galerie Konrad Fischer, Diisseldorf; and Donald Young of Donald Young Gallery, Seattle, who also provided invaluable counsel during the planning of this exhibition. For their thoughtful catalogue essays, which shed light on the many aspects of Iglesias's work, my gratitude is extended to Nancy Princenthal, Adrian Searle, and Barbara Maria Stafford. From conception to execution, exhibitions are a genuine team effort. Between loan forms, invitations, publications, public relations, transporta- tion, and installation, there are many individuals to acknowledge. At the Guggenheim Museum, my deepest thanks go to Thomas Krens, Director; Lisa Dennison, Deputy Director and Chief Curator; and Judith Cox, Deputy Director and General Counsel, for their constant support of this project. I also thank Rosemarie Garipoli, Deputy Director for External Affairs; George McNeely, Director of Corporate and Foundation Giving; Stacy Bolton, Development Coordinator; Nicole Hepburn, Exhibition Administration Coordinator; Ruth Taylor, Director of Budgeting and Planning; and Wesley Jessup, Senior Financial Analyst, who have coordinat- ed the financial aspects of this exhibition and its tour. The role played by Tracey Bashkoff, Curatorial Assistant and Project Manager, has been crucial to the realization of both the exhibition and cat- alogue. To Guillermo Ovalle, Assistant Registrar, I express my thanks for expertly organizing the logistics of the transportation and insurance of the works in the exhibition. I am grateful to Eleanora Nagy, Assistant Conser- vator for Sculpture, for her insights and help with the care of the works. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Barry Hylton, Exhibition Technician, provided thoughtful advance prepara- tion and oversaw the complex installation. My thanks are due to all who par- ticipated in the many aspects of the installation, including Scott Wixon, Manager of Art Services and Preparations; Peter Read, Production Services Manager/Exhibition Design Coordinator; Rich Gombar, Museum Technician; Jocelyn Groom, Exhibition Design Coordinator; Mary Ann Hoag, Lighting Technician; James Cullinane, Exhibition Technician; and Walter Christie, Maintenance Technician. In addition, interns Jan D'Amore and Simon Murphy gave enthusiastically of their time during the planning stages of the exhibition. I am indebted to Anthony Calnek, Director of Publications, for helping to bring this book to fruition, as well as to Jennifer Knox White, Associate Editor, Carol Fitzgerald, Assistant Editor, and Domenick Ammirati, Curatorial Assistant. Filiep Tacq designed the catalogue with great sensitiv- ity and vision. I thank Santiago Saavedra and Lola Gomez de Aranda of El Viso for their careful attention to many aspects of this publication. In Spain, my gratitude goes to DanielaTilkin, Exhibition Coordinator, for her many contributions to the organization of the exhibition and catalogue, as well as to Iglesias's assistants Ruben Polanco, Jesus Tejero, Pepe Albacete, Guillermo Ponce, Mimi Muhoz, and, especially, Julian Lopez, for his invalu- able help during the production and installation of pieces in the exhibition. At the Renaissance Society, my thanks are extended foremost to Hamza Walker, Director of Education; Lori Bartman, Director of Development; Patricia Scott, Bookkeeper/Office Manager; Scott Short, Preparator/ Registrar; and Lisa Meyerowitz, Etal Dori, and Mark Clarson, work-study assistants. At the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, I express my special gratitude to Alicia Chillida, Coordinator, Palacio de Velazquez, for her dedication to this project. To all of those contributing to this exhibition and publication, I wish to convey my sincere gratitude.

Cristina Iglesias has had a brilliant career in Europe (her work having been shown at the most prestigious contemporary art exhibitions and venues, including the Venice Biennale, Kunsthalle Bern, and Stedelijk Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven), but her art is known by comparatively few people in the United States, with the narrow exception of the keenest followers of current art trends. The first exhibition of the artist's work at an American museum, Cristina Iglesias will appear in both New York and Chicago before traveling to Madrid and Bilbao. Iglesias belongs to a generation of artists who became known in the 1980s; committed to the poetic and sym- bolic aspects of both space and image, their art was deeply rooted in the most radical contemporary thought. 14 CARMEN GIMENEZ

  • Part 3: Rebirth Partner
    28 HUO: Normally I ask two last questions but you already Hans-Ulrich Obrist, answered one of them when we did the talk at the Ser- Michelangelo Pistoletto pentine gallery. It was the question about the future. You said: ‘The future for me is not about the possession of the world; it is about making love with the world. It is our Part 3: Rebirth partner. If you make love with the world, you have to love humanity. If you love humanity, you love yourself.’ But the question you have not answered yet is my recurrent ques- tion about unrealized projects, projects that were too big to realize, or too small to realize. When I asked you this question for the last time, in 1996, you answered with a very empty space you wanted to insert into a city. It was a cage—you wanted an empty cage in a city. That was your as yet unrealized project. MP: I did realise it. It was exhibited, and it is called Free Space. It is free for everybody and can be everybody’s space. It was good as the work was carried out by the occupants of a prison in Milan. I said: I want to do a work with you that brings you out of the prison. But this ‘outside of prison’ was in the centre of the prison. It was a free cage for everybody, because your mind should be free. And this is the cage that opens your mind. And they understood. They were very happy to do it.

  • STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013
    STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013 Antonakos’s work with neon since 1960 has lent the medium new perceptual and formal meanings in hundreds of gallery and museum exhibitions first in New York and then internationally. His use of spare, complete and incomplete geometric neon forms has ranged from direct 3-D indoor installations to painted Canvases, Walls, the well known back- lit Panels with painted or gold surfaces, his Rooms and Chapels. Starting in the 1970s he installed over 55 architecturally-scaled permanent Public Works in the USA, Europe, Israel, and Japan. Throughout, he conceived work in relation to its site — its scale, proportions, and character — and to the space that it shares with the viewer. He called his art, “real things in real spaces,” intending it to be seen without reference to anything outside the immediate visual and kinetic experience. Colored pencil drawings on paper and vellum, often in series, have been a major, rich practice since the 1950s; as has his extensive work with collage. Other major practices include the conceptual Packages, small-edition Artist’s Books, silver and white Reliefs, prints, and — since 2011 — several series of framed and 3-D Gold Works. Antonakos was born in the small Greek village of Agios Nikolaos in 1926 and moved to New York with his family in 1930. In the late 1940s, after returning from the US Army, he established his first studio in New York’s fur district. From the early 1960s forward, until the end in 2013, he worked in studios in Soho.

  • Jean-Marc Bustamante, 1952 —
    Jean-Marc Bustamante, 1952 — In the late 1970s, after a period of assisting photographer William Klein, Jean-Marc Bustamante changed the perception of photography in French art with his monumental Tableaux, a series of photographs of the Barcelona region that blurred the boundary between painting and photography. Following a four-year collaboration with sculptor Bernard Bazile (1983–87), Bustamante continued extending his practice to media other than photography. His work is the perfect synthesis where past experiences merge, embodying different artistic languages that melt in a new and personal visual language. The works depict mental landscapes with a strong poetic impact. His recent works on Plexiglas explore a new way of painting, going further into his research with light and colour. In 2008, Jean-Marc Bustamante was awarded the medal of the Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, and in 2003 he represented France in the 50th Venice Biennale. His work was included in Documenta VIII in 1987, Documenta IX in 1992, and Documenta X in 1997. Recent exhibitions include New Paintings, Galerie Bärbel Grässlin, Frankfurt (2014); Jean- Marc Bustamante/Pieter Saenredam, Villa Medici, Rome (2012); Dead Calm, The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, travelling to the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (2011); Jean-Marc Bustamante: Lava II, Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, 2008; and L’horizon chimérique (with Ed Ruscha), Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, 2007. Jean-Marc Bustamante was born in Toulouse, France in 1952 to a South American father

  • How Artists Perceive and Interpret the Contemporary
    HOW ARTISTS PERCEIVE AND INTERPRET THE CONTEMPORARY A three-day celebration with literature, discussions, documentary filmmaking, performance and visual arts The recent happenings in Europe, particularly in the Bal- kans, challenge the political, economic and cultural de- velopment of the continent. Troubling phenomena include the “Balkan route”, with the refugee crisis and all it entails, the closing of borders, Euroscepticism, and the emergence of Fascism in many European countries. We will gather in Piraeus, the harbor of Athens, a focal point for the events currently unfolding in Europe, to discuss literature and its role in understanding, interpreting and resisting cer- tain “dystopian” social and political conditions, along with a rich program including visual arts, documentaries, and performance. Participants will come from Greece, Croatia, France, Serbia, Kosovo, and Germany.
